We'd like to! I think it would be fun to go with friends </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1031053 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:39:49 +0000 PurplePeony 1031053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted to and a couple times I've tried to organize it, but it's either never gotten off the ground or fallen through mid-planning. Heck, my family can't even seem to get it together to plan a trip somewhere so I don't know why I expect anyone else to. I haven't even bothered to try organizing a vacation together once people started having kids, but it does make me sad because I live so far from my best old friends and I'd like nothing more than to spend a few days chilling together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1031008 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:21:17 +0000 Ginger333 1031008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We vacation pretty often with another family - we do mini over night/weekend trips to theme parks and water parks and we did a big trip to Disney a few years ago with two other families - 14 people total. It was a blast! Next year we're planning a group trip to the shore :) It's nice because we get along as couples and our kids all play so well together.<br /> We're hoping to do a couples only cruise or something in a few years with them when the kids are a bit older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1031002 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:17:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1031002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. All the time pre-LO's... but just this past year we went to Cancun together even though we're the only couple with kids. We plan to do one big reunion trip every 5-10 years or so because we're all scattered around the country now, but still manage to remain close. The internet and technology really helps us keep in touch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030948 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:57:15 +0000 travellingbee 1030948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a short trip with friends this summer to a family friendly resort in the Texas Hill Country. It was really fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030928 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:51:13 +0000 dolphin 1030928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use to all the time, pre-baby! The most memorable was a group trip to Thailand and Vietnam! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030908 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:40:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1030908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done a vacation with friends since college. I really want to again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030902 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:36:50 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1030902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I think it would need to be with specific people. I'm pretty picky about travel companions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030820 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:55:13 +0000 pui 1030820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not often, but I wish we did more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030816 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:54:43 +0000 looch 1030816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are seriously thinking about doing a ski vacation with another couple and their son when our son is older and can do lessons. This way both kids are in ski school and the parents can relax! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030795 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:44:34 +0000 hellobeeboston 1030795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!</p> <p>we did the caribbean with another couple who are good friends two years ago (me and my girlfriend both got pregnant 1-3 months after that trip).... And then we just went with another couple away to Spain/France! It's got to be the right mix of course - but love traveling with friends ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030793 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:44:29 +0000 Modern Daisy 1030793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I'd like to! I tried to organize a trip with my sister and her husband, but they are both so passive aggressive it was impossible to plan anything. Now I see why they never go away anywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030787 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:43:24 +0000 autumnlove 1030787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have before and it was fun! We didn't have kids yet but our friends took their 16 month old baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030775 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:39:05 +0000 Mrs. Train 1030775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do quite a bit. It's super fun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030771 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:38:17 +0000 Smurfette 1030771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have before. It was all pre-LO's for us all. But we are planning on next summer going on vacation with friends and their LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030760 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:35:09 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1030760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We have two couples that we regularly vacation with. This year we visited our hometown with friends from where we live now for a weekend, went camping for a couple nights, visited a big city for a baseball game, and we are renting a cabin up north for a week. I really enjoy it.</p> <p>It's funny because the three of us are all at different life stages: us - married no kids, couple 1 - married with two kids, couple 2 - dating. It works though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030714 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:14:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1030714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this summer. It was really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030708 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:11:48 +0000 mediagirl 1030708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't normally. We used to go camping with some friends before I got pregnant. As soon as M is old enough, I'm thinking next summer, we're going to try to go camping with them again. They're up for camping with us and her even though they aren't having kids, which is awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030699 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:05:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1030699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twice so far. Two separate trips with each of DH's best friends. It was ok. I think renting a beach house with several couples and their kids would be alot of fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030691 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:01:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 1030691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we went to the Bahamas with another couple before LO was born &amp; are going to Indiana in October with a few other couples for a football game. We like to travel with other people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-vacation-with-friends#post-1030687 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:57:40 +0000 heffalump 1030687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go on two camping trips each year (at least). One with friends and one with family. Our friends trip is coming up in a couple of months.... I'm very excited :) </p>
